Good luck to you guys and all your future business. Would DEFINITELY go with Dahlia Tours again if I'm ever back in town.

wonderful holiday
Summer 2015, we have made a 3-week trip to tanzania and zanzibar with the family (two parents / 3 children 17, 14 en 12) We booked by Makasa. Our holiday was very well organised, the program was exciting and the Makasa personel very dedicated. Many compliments to David, our driver, who drived safely and spotted so much wild animals! Communication was optimal, program was flexibel. Lodges, hotels and excursions: all arrangements very good. A one-night stay in the Masaai on the third day was giving a very special start: at that moment we felt really that we were in East Africa.

TSA Safari is highly recommended!
I had an amazing time on my safari with TSA. We spent 1 night in Ngorongoro Crater at the Rhino Lodge, and 2 nights in tented camps at Seronera Camp in Serengeti. Both safari locations were amazing and the environment was so different. The crater walls make for a unique home for all the inhabitants, and the Serengeti plains are vast and never ending. Our guide Philemon was very knowledgeable and he knew where to find all the animals at every juncture. He also worked extra hard to make sure we got to see what we wanted (which included the Great Migration a couple hours north of where we were). The tour also comes with binoculars too! Amazing. You never missed any action and got a detailed account of what was going on. My favorite part about the safari is the sheer number of entire prides of lions we saw at Serengeti (over 60 lions in 3 days). It's really something unforgettable when you get to witness a lion feast, attempted lion kills, and piles of lions napping under a tree. We also got to witness the Mara River crossing of the Great Migration near the Kenyan border, and that event was straight out of the Lion King and a National Geographic documentary. We saw a couple of Croc-Wildebeest battles that were so surreal.
The accommodations are very unique. The Rhino Lodge has an eco-friendly feel with specific electricity hours. The room can get cold, but you can light your fireplace, and the blankets are extra thick and warm, so it wasn't really a problem. The restaurant at the Lodge was gorgeous! There were warm fireplaces, floor to ceiling windows, candles, and more importantly, a delicious food buffet! The service was impeccable, and we were always taken care of. Our Seronera camp has large mosquito net King sized beds with a flushing toilet bathroom. It looked like a honeymoon palace. The staff here are very entertaining, funny, and nice. They sang John Legend after dinner! Here, they manually add boiling water for your hot showers, and water is added to flush the toilet. The amount of work they do is much appreciated and you get the hospitality. The homemade steak and soups here were phenomenal and I really enjoyed our dinners at the camp. It was fun to hear all the animals at night and to be directly in the wilderness.
I didn't want the safari to end. I only would have liked to see a black rhino, and to maybe stay at some game drive spots a little longer to observe everyday behavior. There's just so many things to see and sometimes you have to move on for the sake of the rest of your group's wants/needs. Don't forget to use the restroom before you go, because you might be waiting hours for your next break!
The safari vehicle is a huge 4x4 with plastic windows, and a roof that can lift so you can stand in the vehicle. This is different from my last safari in South Africa where the plastic windows rolled up and it was "more risky." I didn't mind so much since the lions were so close any way! We all got amazing photos, and I didn't even need a DSLR because the animals were close enough for my iPhone. The boxed lunches were mostly ordinary sandwiches and fruit, but my favorite was the soba noodles we got on one of the days!
Thank you, Tanzania Seregenti Adventures for an unforgettable safari!

The best holiday we've ever had
Paul is many things: tour operator, safari guide, conservationist, somebody deeply involved with his local community. But above all he's a great guy.
Paul arranged a trip to Southern Tanzania for me and my girlfriend, 1 night in Dar, 3 in Selous, 3 in Ruaha and 4 on Mafia Island. He listened to our requirements and budget constraints and put together a tailored tour that delivered way beyond our expectations. Everything worked out really smoothly and as planned.
Every bit of our tour was incredibly enjoyable, but best of all was the Ruaha leg, during which Paul was our private guide. Ruaha NP is a special place with a rough charm that's hard to describe, and driving around it all day with Paul was absolutely captivating. He is a very knowledgeable guide and passionate about conservation - something that really came across at every close encounter with elephants, lions, leopards and all the other amazing animals we were able to observe with him. Thanks to him we learned a huge amount about behaviours of different species, as well as the challenges for the park and conservation in Tanzania more broadly. He was keen for us to experience as much as possible, but without overdoing things, making sure we also had the time to take to simply take in the scenery and enjoy the experience of being in the bush.
This tour was our first proper safari and now we can't wait to go back. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Paul to anyone who's thinking about a safari holiday in Tanzania.

Delightful camping, delicious food and excellent safari trips
We particularly enjoyed camping in the reserves and were impressed by the efficiency with which the team set the camp up with the tents, toilets and showers definitely beyond my expectation! The meals were well cooked and beautifully set out to make very enjoyable evenings, finishing around the camp fire. The actual safaris were well driven and the guides had an extensive knowledge of the area and all wildlife. The trip notes from our company (Intrepid/ Peak) were very poor but this was not the fault of Kalahari Skies.

Very professionnal and warm welcoming staff.
Great experience with Natureways Safaris. The whole trip was a success and we've learned a lot on the fauna and flora thanks to the professionnalism of the very knowledgeable guides. I was also specially amazed that every single day, the food was tailored for me to fulfill my gluten free dietary. Well done!

Unforgettable experience
This was the first safari we ever did and it really was special.
Our guide was immensely experienced and was able to really create a good environment in the car.
Everyone that we dealt with from the Northern Circuit Safari team was really nice and helpful.
The only negative point from the whole trip was during the camping setup, in which we weren't obliged to help but if we didn't, we all felt that everything else would be delayed.
Without any reservations, I recommend Northern Circuit Safari to anyone wanting to do a safari.

They made us fall in love with Tanzania
Safari Multiways exceeded all of our expectations. During the planning, Romeo and Mbarak were very patient with all our requests and inquires. They executed the agreed upon program without a hitch. Amos was our guide and he was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The airlines lost our luggage, we kept forgetting small items in the lodges we stayed in and safari Multiways solved all these problems for us. The only thing I would suggest is to update the interior of the Safari vehicle to make it a little more comfortable. I planned this trip for 7 family members and everyone is so happy, they designated me the vacation planner of the family.
